From Library Journal
This is a detailed compilation of information concerning Western musical instruments, their combinations, ranges, and techniques, intended to assist composers and arrangers. Stiller is unusually complete in his treatment of all instruments, and includes both electronic instruments and an entire section (87 pages) on early instruments. The author is a composer, and liberally sprinkles his text with practical advice. Beautifully produced, accurate, complete, and well written, this book sets a new standard in the field. Timothy J. McGee, Music Dept., Univ. of Toronto
